Make digital agreements explicit
Online affairs may grow through games, social media, messaging, dating apps, or private communities. The technology is not the core issue; hidden romantic or sexual intimacy and broken agreements are.
Talk about what is private, what is secret, how former partners are handled, and what each person needs to feel respected online. Transparency should be consensual and time-limited, not a permanent substitute for trust.
